Melodic. Punk. Emo. Metal. Epic. Energetic. Heartfelt. Intense. Indefinable. All words that describe the 5 piece onslaught known as Her Bright Skies. Though their cockiness and the musical language is all American, the accent is 100% grade-A Swedish. Hailing from a small town in Sweden named Jonkoping, these guys know how to grab you by the codicils and take you for a ride, whether you like it or not.

Craving Lucy is a true American bred rock-n-roll band in every sense of the word. They are far more unique and interesting than your average run-of-the-mill cookie-cutter band cluttering the airways these days. The Boston based quintet, consisting of Steve Archambault (vocals), Nate Comp (guitar), Rick Caikauskas (guitar), Keith Lewis (bass) and Simon Adamsson (drums), proved once again with their newest EP effort entitled Resolution (10/26/2012) that they intend to raise the expectation and imaginations of rock fans nationwide. Resolution should be able to line-up the band alongside the current rock heavyweights in the regular rotation on XM Octane, Music Choice and other rock radio outlets nationwide.
